OP, when trying to lift things out of the semi trailer, try this after observing other safety measues. When I want to lift a heavy bunk of freshly sawn 12 ft lumber on my B26TLB, I enter the stack until the back of the forks hit the stack. Fork frame straight up/down. Then raise the fork back up while tipping the tips down. Continue until FEL won't lift an more, then curl back and continue your lift.
I had to do this yesterday stacking a second bunk on the first. Couln't raise forks high enough to get on fully on bottom bunk. But the tips were high enough to set the tips on the bottom bunk. Uncurling while raising the forks allowed me lift lift high enough and then curl back to set the second bunk on top of the bottom one. Jon
